Explanation:

Government of India has brought resolution to Repeal Article 370 of the Constitution. Article 370 of the Indian constitution used to give special status to the region of Jammu and Kashmir.These are as follows:

Jammu & Kashmir (Reorganisation) Bill, 2019 {Ref. Article 3 of Constitution of India}: It makes Jammu & Kashmir a Union territory with a Legislative Assembly, along with Union Territory status to Ladakh without a Legislative Assembly.
Jammu & Kashmir Reservation (2nd Amendment) Bill, 2019: It amends the Jammu & Kashmir Reservation Act 2004. This bill seeks to extend the 10% quota to economically weaker sections of society in J&K in jobs and educational institutions.

Under article 370(3), there is a provision that President, on recommendation of the Parliament, has the power to amend or cease the implementation of article 370, through a public notification.Hence statement 2nd is incorrect.
